ARRIVAL
Launch offer of a fine Crianza from Castillo de Epifanía ...
with five years’ age and an impressive 30% saving
Rioja is Rioja, right? Spain’s most famous
wine region, producing those silky, oakaged reds we all adore. Few, however,
have heard of Rioja Alta, in the northwest,
where the gentle hills rise to meet the
soaring Cantabria mountains.
It’s Rioja’s elite, mountain-foothill region,
where grapes slowly ripen to fullflavoured perfection. Sadly it’s seldom
bottled solo because the fancy, bigmoney brands snap up most of the fruit
to add elegance to their top wines.

Crunchy cherry and ripe
berry flavours with gentle
vanilla oak, sleek tannins
and freshness – silky,
well-balanced, and
moreish.
One of Spain’s leading winemakers,
Juan Antonio Leza, is a big fan. He’s
worked with Alta’s growers for the
last 20 years, picking out the very
crème de la crème grapes for his wines.
This is his first Castillo de Epifanía
Crianza – a deliciously approachable
style of Rioja, aged for at least two years,
one of those in barrel. The wine is a
masterpiece of crunchy, ripe red fruits
rippled through by gentle oak.
Try it today with a 30% SAVING.
Made from handpicked Tempranillo
from Alta’s cool Najerilla Valley, this fine
Crianza was aged in French and American
oak barriques for a full 12 months.
Now with five years’ maturity and from
the standout 2021 vintage, Epifanía
Crianza is a perfect balance of red berry
fruit, spice and subtle vanilla oak, with
a delightful juicy freshness.
A great price at £15.99, it’s a steal at
£10.99 a bottle when mixing any 12.
